The Cowboys have already broken franchise records by allowing 6,279 yards, 4,360 passing yards and 367 first downs. But Jones is putting more stock in the fact they played one of their best games against the Eagles earlier this year, limiting them to three points and 278 yards.

“I like where we are this week, what we’re doing in our game plan, and in my mind we’re a better defense,” Jones said. “We’re going to have our personnel that’s going to be on the field have more repetitions [than they have had].”

Jones didn’t specifically address the future of coordinator Monte Kiffin, saying he wanted to focus on this week. But it’s reasonable to ask if the 73-year-old has much of a future there, considering the results this year.

But the Cowboys have also been hammered by injuries which kept many of their best players off the field. Getting some of them back next year might make the scheme look better.

The cover 2 defense only works when you have four down lineman (i.e. the Rams front four on their defense) who can get to the QB “fast,” and stop the run on the way there. Without a pass rush, no team’s secondary would stand a chance in space, in a cover 2, with the good athletes on offense the NFL has in today’s game.

Since Jerry lives in LA LA land, aka, his own inept mind, let’s see how real his statement is.
Tampa 2 is an archaic defense first off.
But in order for it to be run effectively, you need to have an elite safety. It’s all based on zone coverage. Having a safety that can give help over the top, cover slot receiver & step up & stop the run. And having that zone coverage allows the defensive front to get pressure on the qb.

So, if he’s serious about keeping this garbage defense, he better draft a safety with their first pick. Because if not, our defense will continue to look like chickens running around without heads.

Just a reminder. This is the same guy who drafted the TE Escobar, because he wanted to implement more of how Cincinnati runs their offense… Double tight end sets to make the linebackers drop back in coverage & run the ball more.
Yeah, that’s worked out sooooo well Jerry.

The Tampa 2 is the most overrated system in NFL history. Any defensive scheme would look amazing if you had Hall of Famers like Warren Sapp, Simeon Rice, Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber, and John Lynch all on the same team in their primes.

You do realize the eagles are going to put up huge numbers Sunday night. Have you seen the eagles lately? The loss to Minnesota is history. They rebounded vs the bears very well. Orton is going to get lots of pressure like cutler did. See you in philly for round 1 of the playoffs.

For the record I also believe that we will beat the Eagles because we might actually RUN the ball a little more. Everyone knocks Romo for the untimely blunders, however when 80% of the offense relies on your arm, your bound to make mistakes.

How does a simpleton like me see that the Cover 2 saw it’s demise years ago and a billionaire NFL owner/GM insists on using this dinosaur scheme? Look for the Cowboys to install the Delaware Wing T next year on offense. What a mess.

Jerry Jones has dementia …. Tampa 2 is a joke of a defense ! Cowboys will never be a Super Bowl team Jerry Jones is just taking them to the mud …. I’m sure everyone in college and te NFL is laughing at Jerry
